# Vera Tests Ads Before Media Spend

By Steven Van · 2026-09-22

Vera, an AI ad strategist built with Zappi, scores video ads against consumer insights before media budget is spent.

Picsart launched **Vera**, an AI ad strategist built with Zappi, in its Agent Marketplace within [Picsart](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/picsart>). Vera scores finished video ads, tests concepts and messaging against consumer insights, and compares creative variants before a campaign goes to media spend.

Scores use Zappi's 1 to 5 scale, drawn from consumer research rather than patterns scraped from the web. When a variant scores weak, Vera turns the result into a production brief that Picsart's video agents can use for a rebuild, so a creator can revise and rescore before committing budget.
